Support network established for individuals struggling with bipolar disorder

In the heart of Wiesbaden, Schlossplatz will host the Hessian Health Days, a vibrant event featuring presentations from various institutions and associations, including around 25 self-help groups. Among these groups is a new self-help group for individuals battling bipolar disorder, starting on September 5th, and a self-help group for those struggling with eating disorders, known as BABOS, which has already been established.

The bipolar self-help group aims to provide a platform for individuals to share their experiences, develop strategies for daily life, and gain new perspectives. Interested individuals can reach out to the group via email at [email protected]. Similarly, the BABOS self-help group can be contacted for support.

October is designated as "Aphasia Month" to raise awareness about speech disorders. In light of this, the Wiesbaden/Mainz self-help group is informing the public about speech disorders in the city center during October. It's crucial to note that the number of children and young people affected by speech disorders is on the rise, both nationwide and in Wiesbaden.

For those seeking other self-help offers, the health department's self-help contact point is available. You can reach them via email at [email protected], or by phone at (0611) 313777 or 317629. It's worth mentioning that there are already around 100 self-help groups in Wiesbaden, and the Hessian Health Days will provide opportunities to make contact with these groups around the town hall.

The first article about the self-help group BABOS was published on August 12, 2025. The group will meet every two weeks at the health department, specifically at Konradinerallee 11, on Fridays from 3 to 5 pm.

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, brings extreme fluctuations between elation and lethargy. While the search results do not provide specific information about the founder or founders of the new self-help group for people with bipolar disorder in Wiesbaden, it's clear that this group is specifically for people who have to navigate between emotional extremes.

The Hessian Health Days, with over 150 self-help groups in total, promises to be an enlightening event for those seeking support and understanding in their mental health journeys.
